Chapter 770 - 770 Scheme
770 Scheme
Seeing that their master and Jiang Ming were already fighting, the three old men decided not to intervene and just watched from the side.
They vaguely remembered that their master had not sparred with others for a long time. Getting a chance to stretch his legs sounded fun.
Jiang Ming felt that Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong was going easy on him and could not help but be confused. “Why did you go easy on me?”
Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong did not expect Jiang Ming to see through it. He could not help but feel awkward. Then, he secretly said in his heart, “Don’t say it out loud. Don’t let my three disciples think that I treat you very well. I’m being nice to you! Reciprocate my kindness!”
On the surface, he said, “How could I go easy on you? I hate you so much! I would never go easy on you.”
In the end, Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong was clearly stubborn, but there was a calculative hint in his eyes. It was obvious that he had other plans.
Jiang Ming saw through him clearly. He was confused. He kept his guard up.
He grinned, but he did not say anything else and continued to fight with Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong.
Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong was very afraid that he would be defeated by Jiang Ming. He secretly said to Jiang Ming, “Don’t defeat me. I can take you to find the long cape gra.s.s. Only I can find that monster.”
Jiang Ming pondered for a moment when he heard Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong’s words. He replied to Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong secretly, “How can I be sure if you’re telling the truth or not?”
Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong understood what Jiang Ming meant and asked him, “You can take the rainbow stone from my waist. This rainbow stone is very important to me. If you still don’t believe me, you can go and take a look at the color and strength of this rainbow stone. You definitely won’t think that I’m lying to you.”
“Sure, no problem.”
Jiang Ming felt that Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong was sincere enough, so he simply agreed.
When the three old men were not paying attention, he directly placed his hand on Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong’s waist and took away the rainbow stone.
However, when he touched the rainbow stone, it emitted a light.
The rainbow stone directly shot its light into the sky. This strange scene immediately attracted the attention of the other people present.
Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong was extremely excited and shocked.
He originally wanted to use the rainbow stone to kill Jiang Ming, but he did not expect the rainbow stone to acknowledge the kid in front of him.
If the rainbow stone was taken away by someone who it did not acknowledge, the rainbow stone would suck that person into it.
Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong muttered to himself as he looked up at the scenery in front of him. “Could it be that the master of the rainbow stone has finally appeared?”
He was very unhappy.
Originally, he thought that the rainbow stone should have acknowledged him as its master. In the end, the rainbow stone actually acknowledged someone else.
He was really jealous. He wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the rainbow stone back, but he knew that it was useless to do so.
“What master?”
The three old men were extremely enthusiastic. Their eyes were filled with curiosity. “Master, what does this mean?”
“This means that the rainbow stone is going to attract monsters and kill the person who touches it,” Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong said sinisterly, wishing he could kill Jiang Ming.
However, he also knew that even if Jiang Ming died, it was impossible for him to obtain the rainbow stone again.
A rainbow stone only acknowledged one master. Even if that master died, the rainbow stone would not find another master. It would simply disappear completely.
Jiang Ming felt the sour att.i.tude Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong was displaying and could not help but doubt the authenticity of his words. “Really?”
Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong knew what Jiang Ming meant and felt uneasy. “Of course!”
He felt a little guilty.
He usually clamored for justice and sincerity. Now that he had done something that went against his motto, it really went against his conscience.
The old man with the huge beard knew his master the best. When he heard Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong say this, he was a little confused and said, “Master, you’ve never lied in the past. What’s wrong with you now?”
The old man with the huge beard was very straightforward and did not give his master any respect. His emotional intelligence was especially low, so he did not realize that his words would bring humiliation to Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong.
Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong’s face instantly turned green, and his eyes widened. “You fool! What are you talking about? How can you talk about your master like that?”
The elven-eared old man knew what his colleague said and immediately helped his colleague out of the predicament. “He doesn’t think before he speaks. Master, don’t think badly of him. He did not mean to say that.”
As he spoke, the elven-eared old man pulled down the hand of the big-bearded old man. He secretly hinted at the big-bearded old man to apologize.
The old man with the huge beard realized his problem and quickly said, “I was wrong. Master, please forgive me. I shouldn’t have said that just now.”
He felt helpless.
He was clearly telling the truth, but his master was not willing to let him tell the truth at all. He even wanted him to cover for him. Wasn’t this hypocritical?
He really could not stand his master’s way of doing things, but he also knew that his master had taught him a lot of things.
No matter what, he had to follow his master’s instructions. He could not embarra.s.s his master like this.
Alas, Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong did not forgive his disciple. He said to the old man with the huge beard, “No matter what, I will never let go of this issue. If you still see me as your master, then make up for it.”
He vaguely remembered that this disciple of his was talented and intelligent and might be able to bring him good things.
“I have learned my lesson.”
The old man with the huge beard knew that he was in the wrong and immediately agreed.
He had indeed done something wrong, and it was only right for him to make up for it.
Just as he was thinking about this, a strange bird came from the sky. Its eyes were sharp. It was as if it wanted to peck Jiang Ming and the others to death.
Jiang Ming could tell that the bird had come with ill intentions. He immediately opened his hand, and a huge barrier suddenly enveloped the sky above them. It was extremely menacing.
The bird wanted to peck through the barrier, but it could not. In addition, its beak was also injured by the barrier.
The bird cried out, but it did not seem to want to let Jiang Ming and the others go. It wanted to come in.
Seeing the bird’s persistence, everyone except Jiang Ming could not help but panic.
Where did this bird come from? Could it be a rainbow bird?
Cultivation Priest Zhou Yong did not expect his words to come true. He was extremely shocked.
He had once read about the rainbow bird in an ancient book, but he did not know what the rainbow birds looked like. Now that the rainbow stone had been activated, the rainbow bird must have been attracted.
